Is there any way to make recoil whitout ACS?

A_Recoil?

I'd recommend the ACS method though because it's much more flexible.

Only if you don't know what you're doing. :V

Okay it still involves ACS but I'm pretty sure A_SetPitch will be able to be predicted easier by Zandornum soooo.

A_SetPitch is not even on Zandronum. It's kind of unclear what he asks for, really. You can use SetActorPitch for the pitch one or what Dark-Assassin said for the kickback.

By "flexible" I mean you can give your recoil its own function and do stuff like I did and make it so players can scale or toggle it based on their prefrences. :V

A_Recoil (force * cos(pitch))
Because the current one does not account for pitch. At all.

...That'll send people backwards or forward depending on whether they're looking up or down.

no, cos starts at 1, so it works
cos(45°) == sqrt(2) // == -0.125 pitch
cos(-45°) == sqrt(2) // == 0.125 pitch

Oh, okay.

...you'd still want to use an ACS script or wait for A_ChangeVelocity, because it doesn't make sense to have three-dimensional recoil that only affects the player on the two-dimensional plane.

I also use ThrustThingZ with 8x the force and with sin(pitch) instead of cos(pitch).
